Mother's Day is Sunday. In a special addition of Bites Nearby, five options to show Mom she's number one.

How many meals has your mother cooked for you in your lifetime?

This Sunday is the opportunity to show appreciation for all those hours in the kitchen by taking moms, grandmothers and wives to a special Mother’s Day meal out.

But what restaurants are worthy?
